Ex-Protection Officer Makes Bombshell Claims About Andrew: 'We Were Told Not to Question'

The former protection officer revealed that girls would come multiple times in a week, even when the late Queen Elizabeth was present.

Long before the release of the Epstein files, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's reputation was already tainted, particularly over his alleged poor conduct toward women. Though the former Prince now lives largely in exile, allegations tied to his questionable past continue to follow him. Now, his ex-protection officer, Paul Page, has claimed that Mountbatten-Windsor brought several women into Buckingham Palace and censored their official logs, with officers allegedly told not to probe further.

Speaking to The Sun, Page, a former Met officer, revealed that girls would come as often as multiple times in a week, even when the late Queen Elizabeth was present in the Palace. Officers were reportedly not permitted to know the names of the guests, making it a serious security breach. He said, "We were told to call footmen and then either the female would walk through unescorted, or the footman would come down to collect her and walk her to Andrew." Explaining why none of the officers questioned Mountbatten-Windsor on the breach, he added, "We didn't ask, because the bottom line is, because of fear, we didn't want to get booted off our post."

Page also stressed that Mountbatten-Windsor was reportedly very abrasive with staff. "When the Queen or the Duke of Edinburgh had guests after hours, we would be furnished with their details. With Andrew's women, multiple times a week, we were just told not to question it." Concerning the latest probe by the Thames Valley Police on allegations that the former Prince shared government information with Jeffrey Epstein, he asserted, "I have asked the police to look at this as part of the new inquiry. The Stansted revelations alone require them to interview Andrew."

Unsurprisingly, this isn't the first, and certainly not the last, allegation surrounding Mountbatten-Windsor's alleged weakness for women. As reported by the Daily Express, Alexander Lebedev, a former KGB officer, also claimed that the former Duke of York behaved inappropriately with a woman he was courting. In an interview on the Russian channel, RTVI, he said, "Once I was out with a charming girl, and Prince Andrew was sitting in the restaurant. The moment I went to the toilet, he immediately started hitting on her, just like that." Weighing in on his alleged poor conduct, he asked, "The question is, why did Prince Andrew not become the subject of investigations?"
